Graduate school taught me that I don’t get weekends off. Ever.
When I was in highschool, I was a good student. I skated, really. I did very little homework at home. I did most of it at school in the class before it was due. Yeah, there were some tougher classes…
Day in the life
Tonight at dinner we had a discussion of segregation, since that’s what my son is studying at school. It was a good discussion and we talked about hating on the basis of race, gender, appearance, religion and so on. The…
Throne of Game of Thrones
George R. R. Martin is the Guest of Honor at our little Montana con this year. It’s during Memorial Day Weekend. It’s called Miscon and it’s a gem. It’s got a lot of great people, it’s small, it’s got community…

Dog rescue, the signing, and a request
First, the signing was fun. Not a lot of traffic, but then again, there was a lot of stuff going on in town last night and I knew there would be some limitations. But books were sold, fun was had,…

Today we got a new washer. Our old one died and the repair costs were as much as a new one, so . . . It required a 2 hour drive to Bozeman (and 2 back). Costco had none. They…
